    Repetitive motion.

    My repetitive motion today is mechanics and casting hollowpoint 124 grain 9mm bullets.

    I cast and coated many bullets tonight.

    With coffee tomorrow morning I will size them 358 with the hand press.

    Impressive.
    I've had great luck casting mine with a little bit of frost on them too, especially with .30 & .45 cal. riffle loads.

    I'll sit down and knock out a bunch, but that hollow point deal is a little tedious for me just for mass producing practice ammo.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    I can do the relaxing reloading anywhere I want. With the press held upside down these 9mn bullets are getting pushed through and fall into the smaller box.

    The 4 cavity MP Hollowpoint molds run about as fast as any 4 cavity non hollowpoint. I've actually cast a bit too many.

    I didn't think there was such a thing. Next you'll be telling me that the tooth fairy isn't real.

    This is just the 432640s I shoot the #503, a solid, more often. I also have the Hammer and Larsen. LOL

    Hi tyguy I am using eastwood ultra gloss clear.

    These bullets are my favorite in 9x19. They are cleaner than fmj and they're very accurate.
